Description:

This presentation delves into how hydronic systems using heat recovery chillers, heat pumps and chiller/heaters can be designed, piped, optimized and controlled in order to efficiently provide heat. The following topics will also be covered:

  • The impact of hot water and outdoor air temperatures
  • Methods to simplify system design and operation
  • The importance of ensuring building operators and facility managers can operate the system as intended
  • Learn how to enhance energy efficiency, reduce environmental emissions and make the electric hydronic heating system as simple as possible.

    Mick Schwedler

    Mick has been active in the development and support of HVAC systems for Trane since 1982. As an applications engineer his areas of expertise include system optimization (in which he holds patents), chilled water and geothermal heat pump system design, and electrification of heating in hydronic systems. He has provided technical systems education to tens of thousands of engineers through Trane’s Engineers Newsletter Live series, and ASHRAE webcasts, and published many articles within the industry. Prior to his work with Trane, Mick received his MSME from the University of Wisconsin Solar Energy Laboratory and BSME from Northwestern University.
    Mick served as 2021-2022 ASHRAE President. He is an ASHRAE Fellow, recipient of ASHRAE’s Exceptional Service, Distinguished Service, and Standards Achievement Awards, and was Chair of SSPC 90.1-2010. Mick also Chaired the Advanced Energy Design Guide Steering Committee and was on project committees for the 50% Hospital and Office Buildings AEDGs.
    He chaired the USGBC LEED Technical Committee, served on the LEED Steering Committee and is a past member of several USGBC technical and education groups. In addition, he authored portions of the original ASHRAE Green Building Guide, and served on technical groups for the New Buildings Institute.
